Alessandra D'Innella

I am an Italian lens based artist living in London. After working in communication in the theatre sector as an art director and graphic designer, I received an MA from Goldsmiths University in Photography. Central to my work lies an exploration of the creative process, how this is affected by cultural identity, memory and influences from different cultures and traditions and how these factors can aesthetically affect and transform our perception.
